    If he stays healthy this year it could be real exciting! Pretty sure we beat SD St if he was healthy for that game.

    Good start, shitty middle where they did their "let's let the other team back in it" thing, then good finish.

    hey if you guys want to experience what it's like for a philly team to make it to the final 4 (in dramatic fashion, i might add), comcast is airing the nova/pitt elite 8 game from 2009 a few times in the next few days. ;)


    GO CATS!

    I did very much enjoy that game. Obviously I have no reason to watch it again.

    Temple's 5 straight Elite 8 defeats have been very frustrating.

    big win for the hawks last night...

    thursday's nova game was the most exciting game i've seen of them in 2 years. last night? eh, not so much. :lol:

    bunch of young bucks out there. gotta expect a lot of growing pains early but you do see the potential.

    arch is playing like freshman. he needs to learn to trust his teammates and not try to do everything himself. jay wright compared him to nardi (because he's white?). i think he's more scottie reynolds than nardi. not saying he will even approach reynolds' greatness, but he seems like the kind of guard who can take over a game even if his shot is not falling like thursday. he had a horrible 2nd half but was 9/10 from the line. i like his fire too. last couple years there was no fire. kid has TONS of potential, just needs to be more careful with the ball and trust his teammates more.

    hilliard has improved a lot. his shot is silky smooth. excited to see bell and pinkston be major contributors. all 3 can knock down the outside shot.

    mouph better be careful or his minutes are going to go to ochefu quickly. pretty disappointed in mouph's progress over the last few years. wish pinkney was still on the staff...

    go cats.

    more conference re-alignment. the big east could be life support soon as the supposed new western schools are looking for an out now according to espn and lots of rumors of other movement. going to be very interesting where all the local schools end up. A10 looking really strong as a basketball conference right now but does nova and any of the leftover big east schools try and purge teams like Xavier and Butler? or does nova end up on the outs looking for a new place to go? and what happens to temple if the big east football falls apart? crazy that football generates that many dollars. the possibilities right now are endless.

    Columbia 75 Nova 57 - wow. rock bottom might have just gotten a bit lower.

    Hawks manhandled a decent Harvard squad. starters got the lead up to 38 before calling off the dogs. Hawks are played real well so far.

    I can't gloat too much because we lost to Central Conn St. last week but beating Nova for the 1st time in 11 years feels good. I was surprised they were able to hang once Wright got in foul touble but it sounded(listened to it on the radio) like our guards were the difference. Now I'll be bracing for the let down v. Rider.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Juggler you must not have Xfinity? it's in HD on my Xfinity. I think its channel 854. up there with all the other sports stations. unfortunately as an A10 fan that is the channel that has owned the rights to the A10 games the past few years so I know where it is.

    I will try and make no comments on nova until my hawks play them on Dec 11th. Well other than JayVaughn doesn't seem like the brighest bulb going for a 2 down 3 in the last 10 seconds (although fn coaches drive me nuts not fouling in that situation)

    I thought Lasalle played pretty undisciplined on offense. seems like it was all 1-on-1 play. Although have to give Dr. G credit for the backdoor play to give them the lead. Great play and execution of it. I like Duren's game. pretty steady player. never seems rattled.

    hawks have american wednesday at home before a huge one at Creighton on saturday afternoon. that is probably their toughest game on the schedule. saw creigthon late saturday night. they are really good.

    I think b-ball will work out fine with all the other basketball schools - the Novas, G-towns, St. Johns all hung out to dry, they will find a place to land.

    Temple's football program might get screwed over pretty good I'm afraid.

    Saw the Owls-Hens game yesterday. Had a big 14-pt lead early in 2nd half and almost blew it, but held on in the end. Signora Abruzzo, a Delaware grad, said I "looked nervous" towards the end.

    Team has lots of depth but I think Fran is still looking for the right combos and the chemistry is developing. That said, and admitting that this 3-0 team has struggled, I think there is a boatload of talent and experience and this team could be dangerous/exciting if it finds the right chemistry.

    there's nothing "fine" about that to me. that will be another glorified atlantic 10.

    nova needs to apply to the mac for football and try to convince the acc to take them for all non football schools now with the hopes they take in the football team a few years down the road. this is the longest of long shots but they need to think bold for once

    Owls barely broke 50 but still got a blowout win at Buffalo. Defense was dominant at times, and at times Buffalo couldn't hit water from a boat. A win's a win, especially on the road.

    Last time Temple was even 3-0 (they're now 4-0) was 2000-01. They ended up in Elite 8 that year, but not before a dramatic A-10 tourney championship, without which they'd have been NIT'ing. Lynn Greer was just sick that year.

    well creigthon treated the hawks like they were jode foster in the accused. what a butt whooping. game was over about 2 minutes in. creighton was coming off a home loss to boise state so knew it was going to be a hard one to win but it was as bad as the game at Temple last year. not good at all. hawks pretty much got punched in the mouth and quit like dogs. unfortunately that was pretty much the last chance for a good non-conference win as the schedule gets must worse from here out before conference play. should win the rest with toughest 2 being at nova and at drexel.

    temple 5-0 for 1st time since number 1 team. kind of surprised they haven't done that before. nova is this week isn't it? temple should spank them.

    lots of good hoops last week though. can't wait until conference play.

    I just heard a crazy rumor that Jay Wright will be resigning today because he knocked up someone on his staff. Would be crazy if true.

    i've heard the rumor of him having an affair with a 19 or 20 year old but their message board squashed the rumor last week. if true...good for him :D
